The stock will be bought back through an accelerated stock repurchase agreement with Barclays Bank PLC using a previous stock buyback authorization and an incremental $10 million approved by the company yesterday.

AOL will pay the $600 million at the beginning of the agreement and expects to receive most of the shares before the end of the year, including about 4 million shares that Barclays will deliver to AOL on Thursday.
